Now registered under Go-Ahead Singapore
SG5069H - SG5084M (16)
Really I dont know whats so good about the B9 lor... That EVERY operator die die must take...
Like the B9 isnt a bad bus, but clearly inferior to the A95...
Gemilang assembly slow is it? Or LTA wants to show sympathy for Volvo since they were out of the concept bus game??

Bus lobbyists got what they previously wanted. Be careful what you wish for now...

Save cost la the main reason,They can easily get the A95s if they request to LTA...Maybe i should look into the Seletar package then..Got A22s,A95s beside Citaros and B9TLs..
i don't think that's all the types of buses we will see.

If its because Gemilang's assembly is slow or because of the other quite nonsensical reason you have, how do you explain why there are over 30 new A95s sitting in Bulim and not deployed into service?
Its just a matter of where the buses are going. Bulim just seems to be a storage yard for LTA than the actual depot/operator the buses will be operating under.

From what ive know,Those A95s are meant for SMRT and we will know once they start parking at Loyang depot...There will be mass transfers,Deregistered of old buses etc.Rumours that LTA will try to push some of the A95s to GA as well but again we need to look and see if its true or not..For GA operations they will need around 200 plus DDs...For TT,I think they already maintain those E500s thats why theyre quite reluctant to use the A95s..(Cost).LTA should have given them A95s instead of E500s.
